This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AL36G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (BIDMC), a non-profit academic medical center in Boston, MA. The $1,066,991.00 grant funds a research study on the musculoskeletal response of rats exposed to varying levels of partial gravity, from 0.2G to 0.7G, to better understand the impact on muscle atrophy and bone loss. This research aims to inform the development of...
This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC20K1147, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc), a non-profit academic medical center in Boston, Massachusetts. The $378,294.83 grant is for research to better understand the musculoskeletal response to longer duration spaceflight, as previous rodent studies have been limited to 2-week missions. The award is not designated as a set-aside contract. Bidmc, as a teaching...

This federal contract award was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of NASA) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc), a major academic medical center in Boston, MA. The $254,434 grant is for a research project titled "Vertebral Strength and Fracture Risk Following Long Duration Spaceflight". The objective is to assess changes in bone density and strength of astronauts' lumbar vertebrae using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scans, in order to determine the risk of vertebral fractures during long-duration space missions. This work is highly significant to NASA as it addresses key risks outlined in their Human Research Program, including injury from dynamic loads, bone fracture, and early onset osteoporosis due to spaceflight. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating Bidmc competed for it in the open market.
